people risk host
I get to do the most amazing things. We call it Host in Peril quite often, because people love to see me risk my life or be in danger.
change fun names
We demand that the government of Canada force Stockwell Day to change his first name to Doris. Why do this, you may ask? Because it'll be fun.
nurse canada causes
In Canada... we should be there for the nurses, cause they are always there for us.
thinking opportunity equal
I like to think of myself as an equal opportunity offender.
believe people pressure
I don't believe in outing people. It's up to the individual, but there's nothing wrong putting the pressure on.
gay work-out
I always knew I was gay. I always knew that somehow it would work out.
america bulls these-days
Being attached to America these days is like being in a pen with a wounded bull.
support canada bleeding
And in English Canada, no one really knows where the support is coming from, but Conservatives would assume that it's bleeding from the Liberals. So we have a divided left in Canada.
democracy complaining three
And in Canada we, you know, it costs us three or $400 million to have an election. You know, it's always been my position that we shouldn't complain about that; that's the price of admission for a living in a great democracy.
real air organization
I am very excited to accept the role of Honorary Patron with Hope Air because of the national scope of the organization and the very real impact they have on Canadians who need to travel to healthcare.

The Liberal Party of Canada, heading into an election, at the last minute they always stand up and they say: We know there's people out there that want to vote NDP and God love you. But if you vote for them you're throwing your vote away.
government democracy may
Here's to democracy. May we get the government we deserve.
